As your child grows, their baby teeth are destined to fall out to make room for their adult counterparts. But when they fall out too early, it can heighten the risk for orthodontic complications later on. We want your child to thrive, which is why we offer space maintenance, a solution that keeps your child's teeth from shifting and having misalignment issues as they erupt. If you are concerned about your child's baby teeth falling out, we can help them get a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Fluoride treatments offer a simple, non-invasive way to prevent dental decay. After your child's cleaning, a fluoride-rich gel or varnish is applied, followed by a short period of no eating or drinking. Fluoride initiates a process called “remineralization,” strengthening teeth with essential minerals.

When it comes to restoring your child's smile, we always explore alternative treatments before considering tooth extractions. Our primary focus is to preserve and restore damaged teeth through various treatments. However, in some cases, tooth extractions become the best option to get your child's smile back on track. Rest assured, we prioritize your child's comfort and use gentle techniques and sedation options to make the extraction process quick and pain-free. Say goodbye to discomfort and hello to a bright, healthy smile!

Digital x-rays, a quick and efficient method for capturing images of your child's dental health, are used only when deemed necessary by the dentist. Typically, x-rays are recommended every year for kids 3 and above, though children with a higher risk of oral disease may need more frequent scans.

We know that your child being happy and healthy is the most important, and when they get little bumps in the road, it can be scary! If your little one is in need of a solution for bigger damaged or decayed teeth, pediatric dental crowns are here to save the day. Our meticulously crafted white zirconia crowns and stainless steel crowns restore tiny teeth to their former function and appearance. With dental crowns, your child can say goodbye to discomfort and enjoy a durable solution that will keep their smile shining bright.

Imagine your child's smile feeling and functioning at its absolute best. That's exactly what our white dental fillings can do for them!

Dental fillings offer a fast, simple, and affordable solution to treat cavities in kids. By addressing those pesky cavities, we ensure your child's teeth stay healthy and pain-free for years to come. With our comprehensive pediatric restorative care, you can reclaim your child's overall oral health, allowing them to eat, laugh, and grow with confidence. So why wait?

Dental sealants are like invisible tooth protectors! We paint a clear, safe resin on your child's teeth that hardens under a special light. It acts like a shield, keeping away cavity-causing bacteria and food particles. This treatment is especially great for back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form.

Just as for adults, dental check-ups and cleanings for kids are important. Our friendly dental team are experts on all things related to pediatric oral health. We will examine your child’s mouth and any necessary x-rays to catch any potential toothy troubles early. These visits are a great time to chat about what to expect as your child's smile grows, including tips for oral care at home and food choices that can help keep their teeth strong and bright.

Building a strong foundation for healthy oral habits will establish your child's dental routine for their entire lives. With our educational, compassionate care, we are here to give your child the guidance they need to have healthy dental hygiene that will stick with them for a lifetime.

We believe in a "whole health" approach, which includes yummy, healthy food choices. It's not always easy to change eating habits, but it's definitely worth it.

Is your child having trouble staying still at the dentist? Do they get anxious about dental visits? We have a solution: sedation options. For mild sedation we offer nitrous oxide. This is a safe method that is administered with oxygen to alleviate anxiety and discomfort, as well as help the time go by faster for your child. In cases where dental anxiety is greater or significant dental work relative to their age is recommended, IV sedation and general anesthesia are great options. This can prevent any psychological trauma at the dentist for future visits. We can complete all treatment safely and efficiently in one visit, alleviating or reducing chances of future pain and infection.
